A streak of light
and renewed hope
now arcs across the sky
Seeing comets zoom right past
while stars too travel by
Aboard our vessel
are the dreams
of a dead and shattered place
no longer divided by senseless things
like ethnicity or race
Our seven pods detach now
sending us down
to an unknown fate.
We work now for a better future
within the cities we create
From the planet
its land and sea
new dangers now arise
turning neighbors into corpses
making us gouge out our minds' eyes
The faithful see
their promised land
rather than this organic hell
while greed spreads like a fungus
the greater fool is hard to tell
Our dreams are finished
laying in ruins
as the conqueror gathers arms
while peaceful fools give in
turning us into the nightmare's farms
The police no longer enforce
but rather act
like a puppet's strings
While the one smart enough to save us
is concerned with trivial things
In this final city
exists a stronghold
for our liberty
I realize now, but far too late
that the last free man is me
